FAQ
What is your most valuable survival tool in case you get lost?
The compass tells us which way north is. It also shows us how far we have traveled from our starting point. The compass might not always be able to show you the right direction if you are traveling in a place with mountains. If you are in flat terrain, the GPS will often show you where to go.
You could also use a rock or a tree as a reference point if you don't own a compass. While you will still need to find a landmark by which to guide you, it is at least possible to know the direction of north.
Why is knot-tying important for survival?
Everywhere you look, people use knots to connect items like fishing lines, ropes, ladders, and so on. They also have many other uses, including tying bags shut, securing objects to trees, and creating makeshift shelters. A basic skill, making knots, can save lives.

How To
How to build a fish trap for survival
A fishtrap is a device to catch fish. It is composed two parallel bars (the "trays"), which form a funnel shape. The water flows through one trap end. Water collects at its bottom in the first tray. This causes water levels to rise. As the water level rises higher, it will fall through the second bar allowing the trapped fish escape.
Fish traps are an ancient invention that was originally used to catch salmon. These traps still function today. However, they can also be used to catch freshwater catfish like bass and carp.
If you have a large enough fish pond, you can make your own trap. For the trap's inner walls, you'll need some type or material. A commercial fish trap kits can be bought online if you don’t have much space. These kits typically include everything you need, except the materials needed to build the trap.
Here are some tips to help you build your fish trap.
-
Make sure the sides of your trap are strong so that water doesn't escape.
-
You should choose a place with lots of sunlight to heat the water.
-
Avoid rough surfaces such as concrete and stone to trap sand particles.
-
The trap should be free of all debris to ensure the fish aren't caught.
Once you have constructed the fish trap you will need to place it at the edge of your pond. If the fish escape, don't panic. The trap should be left alone for a few more days to allow them to return in. You don't need to clean the trap as it should be left wet. If there are any dead fish in the pond, they can be removed later.
